Modbus RTU Master Read Maps are where you configure this device to read Modbus registers from other Modbus RTU devices, and store that data in local data objects. This page shows a list of currently configured read maps.
When Modbus display setting "Number" is selected under User Settings, Modbus registers will be displayed as type (e.g. holding register) and register number.
- Click on the map number or pencil icon to jump to the map editing page for this map.
- Click on the trash can icon to delete this map.
When Modbus display setting "Modicon" is selected under User Settings, Modbus registers will be displayed as a single value in Modicon format, e.g. 40001 for holding register 1.
- Click on the map number or pencil icon to jump to the map editing page for this map.
- Click on the trash can icon to delete this map.
To add or insert new maps, enter a number of maps to add, and select a starting point. Then click the Insert button.
To copy one or more maps and insert a duplicate copy of them at another point in the list, select the range to copy, select the insert point, and click Copy.
The Set Source Info button is a diagnostic tool. You do not want multiple read maps (from all protocols combined) trying to store data into the same local object. Doing so would result in erroneous data (data would jump back and forth showing the most recently read data from any source). If you only have one source of data, then this isn't an issue. But if there will be multiple sources of data, then use the Set Source Info button to "claim" objects for this protocol function (e.g. Modbus TCP Read).
If objects have already been claimed in another protocol and you try to claim the same objects, you will see one or more error messages displayed at the top of the screen. Go to the Data Objects -> Object Status page to see where objects have been claimed. The Clear Source Info button is also found on the Data Objects -> Object Status page. To clear the claims and try again, use that button. Clicking the Set Source Info button more than once will also result in error messages since objects have already been claimed once.
